Premier Ford announced a three-step provincial reopening plan today that will gradually allow outdoor and indoor activities to resume over the months of June, July and August.

The plan, titled Roadmap to Reopen, outlines three steps to easing public health measures, guided by the following principles:

• Step One An initial focus on resuming outdoor activities with smaller crowds where the risk of transmission is lower, and permitting retail with restrictions. This includes allowing outdoor gatherings of up to 10 people, outdoor dining with up to four people per table and non-essential retail at 15 per cent capacity.
• Step Two Further expanding outdoor activities and resuming limited indoor services with small numbers of people where face coverings are worn. This includes outdoor gatherings of up to 25 people, outdoor sports and leagues, personal care services where face coverings can be worn and with capacity limits, as well as indoor religious services, rites or ceremony gatherings at 15 per cent capacity.
• Step Three Expanding access to indoor settings, with restrictions, including where there are larger numbers of people and where face coverings can’t always be worn. This includes indoor sports and recreational fitness; indoor dining, museums, art galleries and libraries, and casinos and bingo halls, with capacity limits.

Some outdoor amenities, such as golf courses and tennis courts, will be allowed to reopen on May 22 at 12:01 a.m.

It is anticipated the province will enter Step One around the week of June 14.

Each provincewide stage will last at least 21 days to evaluate any impacts on key public health and health system indicators. The three-step plan is tied to vaccination rates and other key health system indicators. Physical distancing, capacity limits and masking will continue for each stage.
